Fix this if you did not put this restriction in place:

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present


Reboot in "safe" mode. Use the link in my signature to tell you how if necessary.

Find and delete:

c:\windows\mxtarget.dll <— file

c:\windows\system32\ssqfhdao.exe <— file

c:\windows\wupdt.exe <— file

Some malware files may be "hidden". Use the link in my signature to explain how to show "hidden" files if necessary.

Reboot in normal mode and post a new log file in this thread. :)

OPTIONAL FIXES

Go to:

Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, and remove "Viewpoint Manager", it is considered "spyware". If you remove/uninstall it, please reboot afterwards to complete the process.

Go here:

Rogue Anti Spyware/Adware Programs

And read about:

c:\program files\noadware\noadware.exe

You may want to uninstall it.

Other than "Viewpoint Manager" (which is an "optional fix") still being in there, I think you're looking pretty good. :thumbup:

Do you know what these programs do for a living?

c:\program files\kitco\kcast\kcast.exe

c:\program files\yproxy\yproxy.exe

:unsure:

yProxy transparently enables any binary newsreader to support 8 bit "yEnc" Decoding for downloading binary attachments. Kcast gives the most current spot bid market price for each precious metal. Great work that you do. Very much appreciated. thanks, howard berkun

Then you're "good to go"!!!

GOD bless!!!

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?" here:

http://boards.cexx.org/viewtopic.php?t=957

Download IE-Spyad here:

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings here:

http://browsercheck.qualys.com/index.php

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.
(Personally, I'm NOT recommending SP2 for XP at this time)
